We take the gla** and fill
The gla** and drink the gla** half down
And the wine takes on a sweeter taste
Each time we pour a round
But we live our lives in compromise
Like tourists pa**ing through
Least we stop and wonder if the gla** is half empty or half full
When I was in my younger days
And time stood fairly still
I dreamed of all the games I'd play
While running through the fields
Unaware was I of what meets the eye or what tips the hand of fate
While chasing spies and fireflies
When the hour is getting late
We take the gla** and fill
The gla** and drink the gla** half down
And the wine takes on a sweeter taste
Each time we pour a round
But we live our lives in compromise
Like tourists pa**ing through
Least we stop and wonder if the gla** is half empty or half full
I try to do the best I can
With everything I've got
There's times that doesn't mean too much
But sometimes it means a lot
It gets hard to plan and to understand
What lies around the bend
In a world of dreams and hopes and schemes
Where rainbows never end
Day after day
Time slips away
Until its gone
We take the gla** and fill
The gla** and drink the gla** half down
And the wine takes on a sweeter taste
Each time we pour a round
But we live our lives in compromise
Like tourists pa**ing through
Least we stop and wonder if the gla** is half empty or half full
